Question

I read somewhere in apple documentation that I need to edit the plist to indicate that my app would require a GPS, I can’t find this document anymore. I am building a somewhat navigation apps, and I would like to have startUpdatingLocation to use the location from the GPS. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This will limit your application to only being able to run on devices with GPS.

Build-Time Configuration Details

gps is a value of UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities in your plist.

gps

Include this key if your
application requires (or specifically
prohibits) the presence of GPS (or
AGPS) hardware when tracking
locations. (You should include this
key only if you need the higher
accuracy offered by GPS hardware.) If
you include this key, you should also
include the location-services key. You
should require GPS only if your
application needs location data more
accurate than the cell or Wi-fi radios
might otherwise provide.
